Pakistan has blocked access to all social media after days of violent anti-France protests by radical Islamists over ‘blasphemous’ cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
Facebook and Twitter and other sites have been temporarily blocked on orders from the country’s interior ministry said Khurram Mehran, a spokesman for Pakistan’s media regulatory agency.
A reason for the block has not been provided and comes as police officials prepare to clear a large demonstration in the eastern city of Lahore.
